Error TS2345: The provided argument 'Observable<TodoInterface[]>' does not match the expected parameter type 'TodoInterface[]'

Currently, I am experimenting with some new ideas in a project and encountered an error message as mentioned in the title.

To begin with, I have a BehaviorSubject array where all my items are stored:

todos$ = new BehaviorSubject<TodoInterface[]>([]);    

addTodo(text: string): void {
    const newTodo: TodoInterface = {
      id: Math.random().toString(16),
      text: text,
      isCompleted: false,
    };
    const updateTodos = [...this.todos$.getValue(), newTodo];
    this.todos$.next(updateTodos);    
  }

This code snippet was originally shown by an instructor on Youtube who used the getValue() method of BehaviorSubject which is not recommended for regular usage. Therefore, to make a revision, I decided to amend a section of the code from this:

removeTodo(id: string): void { 
  const updatedTodos = this.todos$.getValue().filter((todo) => todo.id !== id);
  this.todos$.next(updatedTodos);
}

To something like this:

removeTodo(id: string): void {
  const updatedTodos = this.todos$.pipe(
    map((todos) => todos.filter((todo) => todo.id !== id))
  );    
  this.todos$.next(updatedTodos);
}

My intent was simple: filter out the necessary items using a pipe and then push the remaining items back into the original array. However, this approach did not yield the desired results and I encountered the aforementioned error message. Can anyone point out what I might have overlooked here?

I suspected that the issue could be due to not subscribing to this stream but I am unsure about where to subscribe if not directly after the pipe function. Below is the component part for reference (if relevant at all):

removeTodo(): void {
   this.todosService.removeTodo(this.todoProps.id);
}

Answer №1

What makes using getValue() frowned upon? The reason behaviour subjects are favored for data storage in services is because you can obtain the current value from the behaviour subject, utilize that value to create a new object, and then set it as the next item in the stream. This is the preferred method of behaviour subjects.

Attempting to insert an observable into your behaviour subject is incorrect. Your observable expects an array as the next value, not another observable. The traditional technique of retrieving the current value and filtering out the item to remove is the proper approach to take.

Answer №2

Adrian mentioned in the comments that the purpose of using getValue is to retrieve the current value without subscribing to the observable, making it a recommended approach.

Here's an alternative method:

To access the value, you must subscribe to the observable. Therefore, the code needed would be:

removeTodo(id: string): void {
  let newTodos = null;
  this.todos$.pipe(take(1)).subscribe((todos) => {
     //IMPLEMENT YOUR FILTERING LOGIC HERE AND ASSIGN IT TO `newTodos`.
      newTodos = todos.filter((todo) => todo.id !== id)
   });
  this.todos$.next(newTodos);
}

Note the use of take(1) in Pipe, ensuring only one value is obtained and the subscription is cleared afterwards.

The instructor advocates for using getValue when only the current value is required for removal purposes.

If displaying all Todos was the objective, keeping the subscription active would be necessary.
